mate im too tired to respond to your novel in full at the moment but for the record, The analogy i usually use is 5th is as good as 17th, and it is if your ambitions as a club are top4 and beyond.
if you are expecting a relegation battle but end up winning the prem (Leicester) that would be an over achievement.
if you win the prem and finish the next year in 10th (chavs) thats an under achievement. its pretty simple.
i think you're just pissed that i dont see your teams "seasonal progress" as anything other than what it actually is. progress from 6/7th into the top 4 (once/twice), which you have not managed to do consecutively yet in the pl era if that changes next year ill shut my mouth on the subject fair play.
you say i feel entitled yet you bark stuff like "weve finished above you 6 out of last 7 whatever seasons" like that is a guarantee that you will continue to "progress" when the facts are simple, youve won nothing bar lge position bragging rights
and all the plastic talk is lazy wum stuff i cant be arse to answer
